Heralds in the Society for Creative Anachronism have many jobs. We are
fondly called book heralds, helping to research period naming and
armorial practices for the registration of names and armory for the
populace. We are voice heralds, calling announcements, proclaiming who
is fighting upon the field, and acting as the voice of nobility in
court. We are protocol heralds, recording awards and honors bestowed,
drafting ceremonies, and determining precedence and other period legal
niceties in all sorts of situations. We also work closely with our
good friends in the College of Scribes, whose art and artistry with
pen and brush make what we do beautiful. Anyone can be a herald. You
can be a herald!

As this site is meant to serve heralds and non-heralds alike, we are
in the midst of redoing some site organization. Currently, the site is
broken up into several sections with a menu at the top of each page. A
brief synopsis of these sections:

The documents that guide the College, such as the Administrative Handbook
for submissions procedures and heraldic officers, and the Standards for
Evaluation of Names and Armory (SENA) for name and armory registration;

Links to several areas of accumulated data of concern to the operation of the College, such as the Letters of Acceptance and Return (LoARs), collected precedents set by past rulings, and the Ordinary and Armorial, a database of all registered names and armory;

Contact information for the other Sovereigns of Arms as well as other officers can be found in the Links area.
